I have fun every time I run, and have recently overcome the "I can't go fast anymore" hurdle.  I'm having fun going faster and working towards becoming even faster.  

I have raised two running children, one competitive and one not.

I have learned to run in ice and snow and I don't complain. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Work towards a faster marathon by Spring 2012.

Get my 5K down to 21:30. 

Place in my division at duathlon and triathlon.

Train for biathlon.



 




 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Joining Forrest Gump


 

Personal:

I'm a 52 year old mom of two ex homeschooled teenagers. They both think I'm nuts.

No sleep last night; I hate when that happens!  Nice bike ride this morning to get myself warmed up.  Then some easy running miles in the rain.

 Busy day, helping my son get all his gear assembled for his summer internship in Alaska.  This is the coolest thing ever.  He is majoring in Biology, and his internship this summer (for which he actually gets credit!) involves backpacking around the Wrangle Range in Alaska, studying Dahl sheep and climate change.  Life is sweet.  It means I won't really get to see much of him all summer, but it is exciting for him nevertheless.  He is one of those people who really marches to his own drummer, and it really works for him!  Things really do just seem to fall into place.

Oh, yeah, we are back to rain, but this mornings rain, although drenching, felt good. I don't mind at all running in rain; I just mind biking in the rain.
